The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A slow, somber exploration of grief and family tension through creepy environments and eerie sound design.

What players say

Players praise the tense atmosphere and emotional story about a mother, with choices that lead to different endings. However, many criticize the repetitive maze-like underground sections and some find the quick-time events frustrating. The save system is also a point of contention, as it can force replays of long sections.
